The AutI.Chrlst of Our Day.

The same spirit that moved the
early prosecutors to maltreat and
cruelty Christ is notably present in
the organ lied warfare of the liquor
traffic in these latter times. The fact
that tho moral sentiment OF the age
has indicted the saloon as criminal,
and put the rum power on trialat the
bar ofpublic judgment, has provoked
the beast to uncover and show forth
a .malevolence like unto that which
has dogged the steps OF Christian
civilization through all the ages. 1t
denies to society any right to occupy
higher plane in aim and work, and
would tie humanity down to the
bestialism born of debauchery. But
they labor in vain. A gulf stream OF
benefcent agencies is streaming out
of the bosom of Providence upon So
ciety, sweeping the whole shore line
of humanity, and moving public
thought into wider and safer chan
nGlb OF euueuNOT'
Facing this wonderful moral awak-
ening which expresses itself in con
demnation of the liquor traffic as the
great giant wrong of the day, the Ii
ouor power, true to its nature, fights
back with q venom and ferceness sc
characteristic of the spirit of evil in
the centuries past.
Fearing the light which discussion
would throw upon the traffic, it NOV.
es stealthily organized, and in silence
and secrecy plans to conquer its way
by Justification and corruption.
Dynamite and the dagger, fire anc
the pistol, these are its weapons. To
shut the mouth of Haddock, it water
ed Iowa soil with his blood; it muir
derously butchered Northrup of Ohio
and waylaid unto death the young
gifted Gambrell of Mississippi; i
mobbed the great and good colorec
Bishop Turner of Georgia, while
rallying his race in Texas.
In numberless smaller ways it has
developed this spirit of hellish hate
in Tennessee. 1t defenders have
blasphemously tortured the Bible in
to Endorsements of all manner OF wick
edness. They traduce ministers .fol
seeking to shield the Church of Chris
from liquors pollution. They maligr
the character of holy women fol-
working to protect their household
treasures from rum spoliation. Moth
ing patriotic, nothing pure escapes
, their virulent tongue.
The fight they make is not to bet
ter society, but to poison it to death
And shall they not be resisted witt
all the might that Christian people
can command? The issue is made
, and victory must come. We can no
afford to lose this fight. Defea
would hang a terrible fate in expect
ancy over every cradle in the land
Defeat would put an assassin in quite
every home, and house him upo,
every thoroughfare. This liquo
beast is after money spoils, and t'
gather them it would wreck ever.

Kansas Letter.

TOPEKA. KANSAS, May 5. 1887.
Hearing so much of Wichita in
Frankfort, l thought l would take
the trip.
Fifty miles north Of Wichita is a
fiat but good farming country.
AFTER passing Newton, about
twenty miles from Wichita, l be-
gan looking for the city. The first
indication was stakes marking off
proposed avenues. One or two l
noticed were blowing, as if expect
ing to raise a crop.
Getting out at the Union Depot,
which is a plain frame building, as
if the railroad company had not
heard of the boom, about three
fourths Of mile OH the street cars
bring you to the center of the
town, which is in bottom on the
Arkansas river, which is bridged
over, about I2,feet, there being no
water in it now, one of the news
papers proposed that it be sprinklcd
to lay the dust.
On the west side they are build
ing residences, business houses
and two colleges, and they say
there are nine located here, but it
looks to me that they could have
found more healthy locations on
the east side.
There are some fine pressed brick
four story buildings just about
finished, and ten or twelve large
brick buildings commenced, includ-
ing business blocks, Opera House
and new Post Office.
In the suburbs, within two miles,
they are putting up frame resi-
dences by the hundred. The side
walks on the business streets are
crowded day and night, but they
say not so much as in February
and March, but suppose they
took the mud and the streets for it
then, for it was real estate then,
now it is mostly laboring men and
mechanics. Good carpenters were
in good demand 80. 50 to So. 90

have to be brought on the cars.

train. from all over the United
States. Restaurants and boarding
houses are plenty but the sleeping
room limited. Prices run from
S.. 90 to 81. 90 per week.
The streets and stores are we'll
lighted with electric lights, and
they have just closed the saloons
SO, to get anything strong, you
have to be sick or make the drug
store man think so.
AS to the future of this city, there
are all sorts of opinions. Some
say the eastern men have too much
invested here to let it drop; others
talk about its position for wholesale
trade, but they don't mention
manufacturers or gas wells. If
railroad and real estate men would
make small fraction of the boom
in land in Franklin county that is
here, there would be very few but
what would vote for railroads, and
stand chance of selling land by
the foot instead of acre. If some
of them would try, it would pay
them better than tobacco.

could see, and nearly every catarrh
medicine that saw advertised; but
got no permanent relief until two
years ago, when / began taking S. S.
S. | felt Immediate benefit from the
medicine, and after taking six bottles
i felt like new man. When / be-
gan using the medicine / was in a
very bad conditions; my digestion was
poor, had rheumatic pains in my
knees, and my feet were always cold.
These unpleasant conditions were
remedied at once by Switt's Specific.
1 ceased using the medicine after
six bottles, because / felt so well that
/ was entirely cured. This past fall,
however, had a relapse-evidently l
had stopped taking S. s. S. too soon.
So l at once began with the medicine,
and am happy to tell you that 1 am
very much improved, my general
health being excellent, and the ca
